Hi! It is/was Monday, right? 😉 How are you? (How you are, no matter what form that takes today, is always OK to be/feel. I know sometimes it seems like there's an expected way-to-be or how to feel, but we're not all the same person; we don't all process life and various events the same … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: April 6, 2020

Hey there! Are you looking for ways to brighten your day and maybe someone else's while we're isolating ourselves (if we're not essential workers)?

Holy hats; it's March already! How's it going? Are you starting to see signs of spring where you are? We are, I suppose. My town received almost three feet of snow Thurs/Fri, but today it's 45F and raining.

Hey there! How are you? Surviving Monday? It was almost unseasonably warm here today, at 45F! As nice as it was to walk outside without a coat, I won't mind when winter returns Wednesday night or so, and am hoping we get every bit of the snow they're predicting on Thursday and then some. I've … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: February 24, 2020
